Hi, have finally pulled out the sv after a very long winter break. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to share my enthusiasm, as it defiantly refuses to start!
It's a 2004 sv650s.
I've checked the battery, and it is not the issue. The ignition comes on but I can't hear the normal priming of the fuel pump, only a much shorter kind of buzz/click.
As I'm crap at describing, here's a short youtube clip: https://youtu.be/dQrmSNVpWmg
If I try to start it, the starter cranks and tries, but there's just no spark. I put it in dealer mode, and it came back with c00 - no issues. Gah!
I've searched round a lot and it seems it could be the fuel pump that's packed up? Then I saw from somewhere else that it could be the ignition barrel/switch that's iffy?
This got me suspicious, as last year some **** tried to steal it and rammed a screwdriver down the ignition barrel, at the same time as he (or butch she) broke it off the top yoke to crack the steering lock. The bike however started perfectly alright last year despite this. Or the long break killed it?
I'm basically running around like a headless chicken, and don't really want to start replacing things without having any idea if it will actually help.
Any ideas? Even anything that could help me diagnose/narrow things down a bit.
